Hi Everyone. One thing I do not mention often but is very important and should be addressed. That is the importance of exercise. Exercise can take many forms from walking to doing traditional exercises as we know them. It is too bad we no longer have the exercise group. One thing that was often mentioned is the use of the Wii which can be fun as well as healthful. Consider walking rather than using an elevator or escalator. When sitting stretch arms and legs. There is always marching in place for up to 20 minutes. Yoga is wonderful for mind and body. Be creative in daily activities and use extra movements to do routine tasks. I continue to do exercises from my last physical therapy sessions. I know it has helped me greatly. Good luck in getting in the groove.
I am happy to say I lost a pound so now weigh 114.5. I will try my best not to gain while my granddaughter is here.
Agate, That is excellent that you did not gain. I like your idea of imagining your graph going down. Keep the good thought and it is sure to happen. Keep it up.
Mamabug, that is unfortunate about your gain but your plans sound really sound. Skimping on your medium days sounds like a good idea and tracking your calories is also a good strategy. I know you know what is best for you. Good luck.
Hsmaldo, I do hope you are well. Do let us know.
Malaholic, sorry to miss you again this week. Hope to hear from you soon.
Poohb3ar, I hope all is well with you. I hope drop by before long.
Portia, that is terrific. You have broken the 160 barrier. I hope you can keep up the momentum as you work your way toward your goal. Keep up the good work.
Msgijo, so sorry to miss you again this week. I do hope all is well.
For those who may have an interest in joining our dedicated group, our members each have their own personal methods of weight loss. Some are on Weight Watchers, some on Atkins for example and some just cut calories. I personally lost quite a lot of weight in the beginning using Atkins and then just cut portions while eating everything. The method is not the most important thing, it is staying focused and following the plan.
We post weight loss, gain, stayed the same, from Thursday to Thursday and have been doing so for thirteen years. We are truly dedicated to get rid of those pesky pounds and keep them off. You don’t have to state your actual weight. It’s a matter of choice.
Tip For The Week:
Roberts' advice: Allow 100 calories a day of your favorite food. Just don't eat that goodie by itself. Roberts suggests “sandwiching” the treat between two low-calorie fillers. For example, if you’re craving a cookie, have a half cup of strawberries, then eat the cookie, followed by a cup of tea.
A caveat. That will work for many people but one has to know one’s own impulses. That one cookie can lead to more despite one’s good intentions. Use your own best judgement with the above suggestion.

. Grands are too easy to spoil with all of their fav 'treats', but we all know that teaching them to eat healthy is really more loving (even if they don't agree). Maybe spoil her a little by getting her to help you fix nutritious meals. If nothing else maybe the extra exercise will help you keep from any gains

. And I am still gaining weight. I had a neuro appt last Friday and weighed in at 141.7
